When it comes to Sugar and Spice, not everything is nice. 

In an exclusive sneak peek of Jan. 27's RuPaul's Drag Race, Spice is left reeling after eliminating her twin Sugar in last week's head-to-head lip sync battle.

"It's just so sad," Spice says in confessional. "I'm not going to have her anymore. It sounds so dramatic, but our drag means so much to us. This is such a special bond we have together. I just want to give her a big hug and for her to tell me it's going to be OK."

As the first set of competing twins in Drag Race franchise history, Sugar and Spice have already left their mark—and Spice vows to carry on in Sugar's absence.

"I know she really wants me to do this for her," she says. "I know this is going to be a challenge for me, but I owe this to myself to do it not only for myself, but for her, too. She's going to keep me going in the back of my mind."

Luckily, Spice has Mistress Isabelle Brooks to vent to—and she hits her with a hot take. With the queens milling about in the Werk Room, Spice tells Mistress, "A part of me just feels like I look at [Sugar's] stuff and there's some girls that don't deserve to be here over her."

Mistress, clearly living for the tea, says in confessional, "I can tell that Spice is spiraling, honey." Unsatisfied with Spice's vagueness, Mistress urges Spice to name names.

"I'm not saying," Spice insists. "We know who."

When Mistress tries for more, Spice rolls her eyes and says, "It's very obvious."

The next morning, the other queens make it clear that they know what Spice has been saying—and they want answers. 

"Spice, when we were de-dragging, I heard you talking to Mistress about some safe queens that should have been in the bottom," Aura Mayari says. "So, can you elaborate a little bit?"

That's when, much to Spice's luck, RuPaul enters the Werk Room to announce the week's Mini Challenge, leaving Spice to shout, "Saved by the bell!"

Find out if Spice ever divulges when RuPaul's Drag Race airs—with special guest judge Janelle Monae!—Friday at 8 p.m. on MTV.
